MEXICO CITY — Located on Moliere, just half a block away from Avenida Presidente Masaryk, one of the most exclusive streets of Mexico City, what must be consecrated as the largest Yucatecan food restaurant in the capital opened its doors on October 2.

The former Yucatan governor and currently plurinominal PRI deputy, Ivonne Ortega Pacheco, has joined forces with restaurateur and entrepreneur Gerardo Ruiz de Velasco Rejon to open the luxury restaurant “Casona La Yucateca” where, say, you can find the best traditional dishes of the Yucatan.

Recently, chef José Alberto Gómez Cuellar spoke about his first week in charge of the restaurant kitchen. Originally from the State of Mexico, he admits that it is the first time venturing into Yucatecan cuisine, with which, he says, he was completely in love.
